The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 20, 10:02 AM CDT, 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 10:02 AM CDT, 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1002 AM CDT Thu Jul 20 2017 .UPDATE... Stationary frontal zone remains draped across far southern Wisconsin into northern Illinois. While the better upper forcing has shifted off to our east, there is still a bit of weak warm advection and frontogenesis response along the front from southwest Wisconsin into northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois. Scattered showers were occuring south of the Wisconsin state line this morning, and this is where the better chance for rain should remain today. However, given the continued weak forcing along the front, can't rule out a few showers or storms through this afternoon. The best chance for this will be in our south along the Illinois border. Look for the frontal zone to lift north into southern Wisconsin on Friday, with moisture transport increasing from late afternoon into evening. Deep layer moisture will rapidly increase from the southwest as the front lifts north, with precipitable water values climbing from around one inch Friday morning, to nearly two inches late Friday afternoon. Available moisture parameters point towards high precipitation efficiency, with near parallel mid to upper flow along the frontal zone. Our concern for heavy rainfall remains from Friday evening into Saturday morning, and we will be assessing the need for a Flash Flood Watch today. && .MARINE... Offshore flow this morning will turn north to northeasterly later today, with speeds generally under 15 knots. Slight chance for a shower or storm today, but the better chances for storms arrives Friday afternoon into Friday night. Prevailing winds and waves look to remain below Small Craft Advisory levels, although higher winds and waves are possible in thunderstorms on Friday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 658 AM CDT Thu Jul 20 2017) UPDATE...Showers and t-storms continue to diminish as low level jet pivotes eastward away from southern WI. Weaker warm air advection lingers this morning, so wl continue small chance for t-storms redeveloping later this morning. AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...Not seeing much indication of MVFR/IFR cigs yet so postponed low cloud developing. May yet develop later this morning due to moist low levels and weak frontal boundary passing through. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 309 AM CDT Thu Jul 20 2017) SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT - Confidence...Medium. Strong warm air advection and low level frontogenesis will continue to carry thunderstorms across southern WI through the early morning. The low level jet pivots off to the east after 12Z so expecting a rapidly diminishing trend through mid-morning. Main threat is heavy rainfall as mesoscale analysis reveals considerable MLCin across the area, but can not rule out an isolated severe. Several Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories in affect from the Madison area. Portions of Sauk County has already received 2-3 inches of rainfall, so may need to issue a Flash Flood Warning depending on what areas these upstream storms affect. Will continue small chances for convection redeveloping across mainly southern CWA later today and then again later tonight. Weaker low to mid-level warm air advection continues across parts of southern Wi north of the outflow boundary weak front that will be settling southward across northern IL. Clouds will stick around this morning but then gradually thin and clear but southern areas may not see the clearing until late in the day. LONG TERM... Friday through Saturday... Forecast confidence is High. Heavy rainfall possible this period. Southern WI is in a prime area for showers and storms over a fairly long period of time late this week. There will be zonal flow aloft with a few ripples/shortwaves, the right entrance region of the upper jet tracking over central WI, warm air advection, and moisture transport on the nose of the low level jet from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. Precipitable water values are expected to be around 2 inches during this time, which is around 175% of normal. Showers with isolated thunder should be very efficient Friday night and we will continue to monitor this period for a flash flood potential. There is still uncertainty about where the front, storm evolution, and axis of heaviest precip will be, but the favorable heavy rain set-up warrants the extra attention. Showers and storms will be possible Fri morning with general upward motion over the area. The higher precipitable water will begin to spread into southern WI by the afternoon with the warm front. This will allow for more instability and we could see a few strong storms Fri afternoon. SPC has our area in a slight risk for severe storms. The forecast soundings show more on a moist adiabatic profile for the overnight hours, thus showers with scattered/chance of thunder is in the fcst for this period with the heavy rain potential. We will lose the low level jet and other sources of stronger forcing Saturday morning, but there could still be a few lingering showers and storms with continued moisture over the area. Saturday night looks dry as high pressure briefly passes by. Sunday through Wednesday... Forecast confidence is medium. A more amplified upper trough is expected to roll across Lake Superior on Sunday. The associated surface low should move across northern WI that drags a cold front through southern WI midday Sunday. There could be a few showers and storms associated with this, but moisture and instability are still questionable. High pressure will keep us dry and relatively cool for the first part of next week. Our next chance for storms will arrive with a warm front Tuesday night. AVIATION(06Z TAFS)...Numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue to affect southern WI through the early morning. Cigs will be temporarily lower vcnty of storms. MVFR or possibly lower cigs could linger for a time this morning in moist, light flow after showers and storms diminish. Then clearing skies will affect northern areas, but may have trouble clearing in the southern CWA until late today. MARINE... Thunderstorms will affect the near shore waters early this morning and then diminish or become more isolated by late morning and afternoon. Mainly offshore winds will turn to the north to northeast later this morning as thunderstorm outflow and weak front slide southward. Winds look to remain less than 20 knots except in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Next chance for more widespread thunderstorms is Friday night. HYDROLOGY... The time period to watch for excessive rainfall is Friday afternoon through Saturday night. This active period of weather has the potential for training of storms over the same areas to bring the risk for heavy rainfall. The recent heavy rainfall and additional rain would aggravate ongoing flooding across far southeast Wisconsin and create flooding issues elsewhere, especially in urban areas. Once more confidence is gained with timing of these rounds of storms, expected rainfall amounts will become more clear. Keep up with the latest forecasts into this weekend. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None.
